The Nagaland government has signed a 25‑year power purchase agreement for a 20‑megawatt private solar project in Mon district.
Nagaland's state administration has entered into a long‑term power purchase agreement (PPA) with a private developer for a solar power plant of 20 megawatts in Mon district. The contract spans 25 years, securing a stable off‑take arrangement for the electricity generated by the project.
The agreement outlines that the private entity will develop, own, and operate the solar facility, while the state utility will purchase the power at rates stipulated in the PPA. The plant’s capacity of 20 MW is expected to add a modest but meaningful share to Nagaland's overall generation mix.
The deal reflects Nagaland's ongoing efforts to diversify its energy sources and increase the share of renewable electricity. By locking in a long‑term purchase commitment, the state aims to attract further private investment in clean energy and reduce reliance on imported fossil fuels.
